Rapid selection of single-stranded DNA aptamers binding Staphylococcus epidermidis in platelet concentrates

Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most common transfusion-associated pathogen contaminating platelet concentrates. Methods to reduce or eliminate contaminating bacteria from platelet units are critical for improving the safety of blood transfusions. We used rapid isolation of DNA aptamers (RIDA) to...
